Memory for older Desktop

[jazzybee]

I've got an old Fujitsu Siemens Pentium III 700Mhz PC at home and want to add more memory. If I remember correctly, it should be SDRAM, but I'm not sure if its PC100 or PC133 and I think I will need to add memory chips in pairs. Does this sound right, can anyone confirm (long shot I know).

Thanks

Currently 128mb and want to increase by another 256mb

AFAIK only 72pin Simms need to be added in pairs SDRAM Dimms can be added singly.

Make sure that the motherboard will accept the size of memory you are fitting. I once splashed out on a 512mB Dimm to upgrade my PC.... only to find that the motherboard would only recognise Dimms up to 256mB each!

Your existing RAM should have a sticker on displaying the memory speed - it's probably PC-133 in a 700Mhz P3
